MIST -- a reimplementation of MYST from scratch for Apple II computers
======================================================================
+ works best on II+/IIe
+ should run on IIc/IIgs though not as well tested
Compiling:
==========
This is a bit tricky
First you'll need to install the cc65 package
https://github.com/cc65/cc65
You'll need to install lzsa
https://github.com/emmanuel-marty/lzsa
You might need to install lz4-dev for some of the helper
utils to compile
Then run "make" and hope for the best
